Figure 6 Spearman correlation heatmap of immune and metabolic indicators.
The heatmap illustrates the correlations among polymorphonuclear myeloidderived suppressor cells, cytokines (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ), and amino acid metabolites (ornithine, arginine, ornithine/arginine ratio). Red indicates positive correlation; blue indicates negative correlation. P < 0.05 (two-sided; Spearman correlation). IL: Interleukin; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-α; PMN-MDSC: Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells; Orn: Ornithine; Arg: Arginine; IFN-γ: Interferon-γ.
